ACADEMIC ACTIVISM | FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO SYDNEY

Academic Activism aspires to create justice holistically by empowering individuals to use their education as their advocacy. This is exemplified by the work of Not For Sale Australia and the University of Technology Sydney who are featuring two unique avenues of academic engagement: the Sydney Supply Chain Academy and the Free2Work Research Fellowship.

The challenge is this: to encourage and inspire true Academic Activism. I see this as Not For Sale’s core competency; giving individuals, communities, companies, institutions, and industries different entry points into activism. I am an academic. I am a social entrepreneur. I am a data analyst. I am a business executive. I am a baseball player. I can be all of these things and be an abolitionist, an activist.

The Academy World Tour (AWT) was created to scale and strengthen a unified response to this global problem by directly engaging communities and helping them become leaders in abolitionist movement.

ACADEMIC. SMART. ACTIVISM.

It is one thing to understand that slavery still exists. It is another thing entirely to understand how to fight it. Awareness is the first step; we must however take another step, and another after that. Once I come upon the reality of modern slavery, how can I change the way I live and what specific maneuvers can I take, against this trade in human property? The Not For Sale Academy is an educational platform that exists to join these two spaces, awareness and action.
